While Rasmus Hojgaard completed a superb closing 65 with four birdies in the last five holes – including three in a row from the 16th – McIlroy bogeyed the 15th and 17th at Royal County Down
Rory McIlroy believes there is a 'misconception' about how hard the Irish Open near miss has affected him and insists he has mentally recovered from the Royal County Down experience. However, the Holywood man did reveal that physical issues may be a factor in the BMW PGA Championship.
“I’m glad for the opportunity to get back on the horse again,” McIlroy said at Wentworth, where he won the title in 2014. “I think there may be a misconception that it hit me harder than it maybe did. You know, I didn’t really feel like I necessarily lost the tournament. I felt like Rasmus went out and won it – shot 31 on the back nine.
“My game is feeling like it’s in pretty good shape and I feel like I have another chance to win a really big tournament that means a lot to me.
